OK- I have Ultimate 64bit, a 250g drive that was partitioned to 3 drives, 5
user logins, 1 admin which I have since changed to 2 admins. C drive was only
25 gig so after a couple of program installs it ran out of room quick. In
noobish fashion I tried to install windows again to the D drive so that it
would become my C drive- I know now how stupid this was, seemed clever at the
time...
SO, I was going to get a new 500G internal hard drive and install windows
all over, once done connect my old drive to recover all current stuff I need
hoping it would see it as c,d,e and f drives. Either that or get an external
hard drive and try to save individually everything I need and re format the
current drive, which I can't do now because the C drive is already full...I
read to unpartition I'd lose everything on drives D and E, plus with the
vista on D I don't want that part saved anyway...man I'm confused
If I go option 1 will the previous installs of vista cause the chaos they do
now if I reconnect the old drive to be D,E,F?
PLEASE SOMEONE, does any of this make sense? Are either ok to do, if so
which would be preferable. Thanks for any help.
